Loving those rims! What are the dimensions? Have you gone for wider out the back?

Can't remember the last time I saw one of these as a van!  :shocked:  Different it certainly is. Look forward to seeing more.

I feel a confession is in order. Unfortunately the wheels are reps not proper BBS' :embarassed: Haven't the money at the minute for real ones. Hopefully they will still meet with the approval of those who offered positive comments :smiley:

Ok back to the van. Went on how many left and there are only 55 on the road according to that site. So not much chance of bumping into another one. Paint wise I'm toying with the idea of a Harlequin effect like on the limited edition Polo's of the 90's (I think). Started off thinking having it a darker matt red originally but to be honest I dont really know what route to take. Could always rat it :undecided:
Blimey and I thought women were indecisive  :laugh:

i guessed they were reps aha but i'm still interested how much they were and where you got them from :P

i think a matt colour would look awesome, how about being a bit different and having it a matt blue or something like that :wink:

The wheels came from directalloys via Ebay. They were £320ish including delivery. Think they have a couple of sets left :smiley:

Opinions needed.



Thinking of doing something similar to the van colour wise. Yes or no?
